For Bayliner, Maxum and Trophy boat parts, there are two options:
Standard: Orders are placed with a reduced air freight charged and are consolidated with other orders. For these, we advise a 6-8 week lead time. However, this is usually reduced to under 3 weeks depending on customs clearance.
Optional: Orders can be air freighted alone and the customer incurs the full delivery charge of their order.

C March
